2011 IN Meeting

September 18-20, 2011, Arlington, VA

Innovation, Globalization and Collaboration

Now in its third year, The SSP IN meeting was conceived of to reinvent SSP’s Top Management Roundtable using a format that promotes INspriation, INnovation, and INteractivity.

The program itself, which starts September 18th in Arlington, VA, will begin with talks by Mary Waltham and leading-edge executives on “three pillars” of modern-day publishing — globalization, innovation, and collaboration. After that, attendees will then break into smaller working teams to work through detailed publishing case studies, with expert facilitation, to:

Discuss and digest new information and ideas

Prioritize and target audience segments and their specific needs

Identify vehicles for viable transformative action

Collaboratively develop roadmaps to accomplish ground-level change

IN Meeting organizers have received input from SSP members about their strategic priorities, which has helped guide their planning. Members will have opportunities to share information and network with senior colleagues throughout the 2.5 day program. The meeting is structured to serve dual purposes: to give attendees thought-provoking, new ideas and experiences and to help them translate what they’ve heard into practical business activities – as moderator Mary Waltham has put it, steps they can take “within the first 10 days back in the office.”

Learned Publishing Access

In recognition of this 30th year of Learned Publishing, we dedicate our first issue of 2019 to questioning everything. Our goal is to examine the future of publishing through the window of evidence, rather than tradition and status quo. We invited diverse contributions who could bring fresh, honest thinking to some of our most widely held assumptions about scholarly and professional publishing. As special-issue editor, Andrew Plume, explains in his editorial, we aim to “Bring the facts, bust the myths.”

The mission of the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) is "to advance scholarly publishing and communication, and the professional development of its members through education, collaboration, and networking."
